Suspect arrested in Dayton Road house party stabbing

CHICO — Detectives arrested a 19-year-old from Compton Wednesday morning for his alleged involvement in a Sept. 9 triple stabbing at a Dayton Road house party.

Jorge Alberto Alvarado Buitimea was booked into the Butte County Jail in Oroville on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, according to a Butte County Sheriff's Office press release.

Just after midnight on Sept. 9, officers responded to a fight at a home on the 1000 block of Dayton Road and found three stabbing victims. Deputies and Chico police officers tended to the victims until medics arrived.

People at the party started leaving, creating a challenge for law enforcement to identify suspects or witnesses, according to the Sheriff's Office. Deputies and officers worked together to gather statements and evidence and restore order.

The victims, whose names are being withheld, are expected to recover.

About 8 a.m. Wednesday, detectives served a search warrant at an apartment on the 600 block of Nord Avenue and arrested resident Alvarado, the Sheriff's Office reported.

Alvarado's bail was set at $30,000.

Detectives are still investigating the stabbing and looking into the possibility of other suspects.

Anyone with information is asked to contact detective Matt Calkins at 538-7671.
